65: Chapter 65 The Vanished Spaceship: Days of Hope

As Lin Mengyao thought of this, her face flushed red, and she didn't dare think any further. Being naturally shy, she certainly didn't dare to ask.

Zhao Zihan was also somewhat puzzled. Women are the most sensitive, and she sensed that something fishy was going on.

Captain Qin Hao pretended to look into the distance as if nothing were wrong, feeling a bit guilty.

He could already imagine how shocked they would be one day when they found out about his relationship with Rao Shuqing.

In fact, what Captain Qin Hao didn't know was that Li Mengmeng, Ling Xiaoke, and the others would be even more shocked that Lin Mengyao, the shy School Beauty, had actually beaten them to the punch. Now that was explosive news...

Feeling everyone's gaze, Rao Shuqing felt very uncomfortable. She quickly said, "It's fine, it's all in the past. Let's continue searching for supplies."

Just then, Captain Qin Hao received a broadcast from the Spaceship.

[Hello players, the docking time at this station will end tonight at 8:00 PM. We will take off on time. Please plan your time accordingly. Those who don't make it back to the Spaceship in time will have to say goodbye to this world.]

Captain Qin Hao, Su Nian, and the others looked at each other, all of them feeling a bit moved.

Zhao Zihan said in surprise, "This stop has lasted so long. Is it finally ending?"

To be honest, with so many zombies here, it was quite dangerous. If it weren't for their strength, they might have easily fallen into danger like Luo Yunxi and her group.

On Luo Yunxi's side, as the captain, she also seemed to have heard the broadcast.

Luo Yunxi looked at Captain Qin Hao and the others, saying, "Our Spaceship will take off tonight at 8:00 PM sharp."

Captain Qin Hao smiled and said, "Us too."

Sun Tong and the others were a bit reluctant to part. She thought to herself, "Are we parting ways already? It would be great if we could encounter Senior and the others at the next stop."

But it was just a thought. They weren't related or even close, so Senior couldn't possibly carry them through every map.

Captain Qin Hao said directly, "It's getting late, so let's part ways here."

"Life is full of chance encounters; we will meet again if fate allows."

Hearing what sounded like an order to leave, no matter how reluctant Luo Yunxi was, she was too embarrassed to stay any longer.

This junior schoolmate, Luo Yunxi, nodded obediently and said, "Senior Captain Qin Hao, Yunxi will definitely find a way to repay you all in the future."

Their current situation was indeed not very good. They could only hope to repay Captain Qin Hao and the others once they became successful.

Luo Yunxi was a bit helpless. Her talent was called Holy Radiance, but she found it hadn't been very useful so far. She didn't know if there would be a place to use it in the future.

Sun Tong and the others also hurriedly said, "Goodbye, Senior. Thank you."

Sun Tong felt some regret. Once this opportunity passed, it wouldn't come again. She probably wouldn't encounter such a high-quality man ever again.

She had been just one step away from succeeding.

As Luo Yunxi and the others left, Captain Qin Hao looked at Rao Shuqing, Liliya, and the other girls, saying, "We still need to go to one place to find Zheng Qiang and his group's Spaceship and see if we can wipe them out."

"Those guys dared to attack you; we must make them pay a heavy price!"

Hearing this, Rao Shuqing and the others nodded.

Zhao Zihan waved her small pink fist and said, "Brother Captain Qin Hao, let's go. We must teach them a lesson!"

Captain Qin Hao nodded and took out the map of the former town. He checked the approximate location marked on it. It was quite far from them, so they hurriedly headed that way.

Their physical fitness had all been enhanced, so they moved quite quickly.

...

After a long time, Captain Qin Hao followed the route on the map and arrived at the outskirts of the town.

It was adjacent to the former primeval forest. Large tree stumps could still be seen, traces of extensive logging.

However, to the surprise of Captain Qin Hao and the others, there didn't seem to be a Spaceship here.

That wasn't entirely correct; more accurately, the Spaceship here had disappeared!

They could see traces of a Spaceship having been there, as well as signs of a struggle. There were not only zombies but also human corpses...

Zhao Zihan said in shock, "Heavens, what happened here?"

They frowned deeply as they looked at the messy scene.

Captain Qin Hao's expression was also solemn. He had intended to come here for a harvest, but he hadn't expected this result.

He pondered, "I think there should have been a Spaceship here."

"Based on the corpses here, I suspect they might have been overrun by zombies, and then another team passed by and happened to salvage the Spaceship."

"Or, this Spaceship encountered an enemy, was forcibly breached, and then the Spaceship was salvaged."

Rao Shuqing said in shock, "Doesn't that mean there's a Spaceship out there with the potential to upgrade to Level 4?"

To upgrade to a Level 4 Spaceship, besides Upgrade Shard being hard to find, the ships heart was also quite difficult to obtain.

As for energy cores, as long as one was strong enough, there was no shortage of them here.

Liliya said, "I hope they don't harbor any ill will toward us."

She guessed that this team must be very strong.

Now that Liliya had integrated into Captain Qin Hao's group, she had learned a lot of information. With her intelligence, she had quickly adapted.

Captain Qin Hao waved his hand and said, "Since the Spaceship has been taken, there's nothing we can do. We can head back."

Looking at the many corpses on the ground, he guessed that the remaining people from Zheng Qiang's Spaceship had likely all been killed. This was one less thing to worry about.

Moreover, he knew that a Level 5 Spaceship wouldn't need a ships heart, but rather an upgrade blueprint.

[Materials required for Spaceship upgrade to Lv. 5: energy core 500/1180, Upgrade Shard 150/10, Divine Iron 150/50, Level 5 Spaceship Upgrade Blueprint 1/0.]

Captain Qin Hao remembered that he had obtained 50 pieces of Divine Iron from salvaging Spaceships. He wondered if Refined Iron could be used to synthesize it.

Currently, 10 iron blocks could be synthesized into 1 piece of Refined Iron. Could it be that 10 pieces of Refined Iron were needed for 1 piece of Divine Iron?

However, it seemed that a synthesis path hadn't been opened yet, or perhaps it simply wasn't possible to synthesize it.

Captain Qin Hao shook his head, casting the thoughts aside. For now, it was time to return to the Spaceship to prevent any accidents.

"Let's go, back to the Spaceship!"

"Alright!" Zhao Zihan smiled sweetly.

They had obtained many good things on this trip and had met normal people from other Spaceships, so they were in a very good mood.

Finally, after their long trek, they eventually returned to the Spaceship.

They saw a group of extremely beautiful girls waiting to welcome them.

Li Mengmeng, in a little chef outfit, welcomed them cheerfully.

Ling Xiaoke had changed into another beautiful short skirt, making the young girl look fresh and refined. With her Tailor Talent, her own clothes were never the same twice.

Then there was Chen Xiao, wearing a tight hip-hugging skirt that perfectly outlined her plump hips, looking as if she had just finished working out.

Obviously, they had all asked Ling Xiaoke to custom-make clothes for them.

"Brother Captain Qin Hao, you're finally back~"

"Lord Captain, welcome home~"

Captain Qin Hao was immersed in the sweet voices calling him "Brother Captain Qin Hao," feeling elated. These days were truly full of hope...
